Women ’ s Center

Loyola's Women's Center is dedicated to empowering everyone by educating the University and its surrounding community on issues of gender that are of particular interest to women. The Center supports Loyola’s mission to learn, lead, and serve in a diverse and changing world. Our core pillars are service, wellness and connection.

The Center actively works to promote an environment of equality and acceptance for all people of all religious beliefs, ethnic backgrounds, and sexual orientations. The Women’s Center offers confidential and free support and services to any student, undergraduate or graduate, who experiences sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence or stalking.

In collaboration with other offices and departments across campus, the Center provides information, offers advocacy, and plans educational programs for faculty, staff, students, and, when appropriate, the general public. The Center is a resource open to all members of the Loyola community, serving both as a haven where women’s issues may be freely discussed and as a beacon which guides the community toward genuine gender equity.

The Women’s Center welcomes graduate students’ involvement in its programs and initiatives and invites them to form groups that would benefit all students in the Loyola community.
